I'll make it simple. The lake will be better with a speed limit than without one.
Let me make it simple, the lake does not need a speed limit. There is not a problem the speed limit will solve. The speed limit will cause meager MP finances to be further strained. MP will be taken from useful duties, such as monitoring the Weirs area for 150 foot violations and other concerns, to set up speed traps in the Broads and other low density areas to catch the less than 0.5 % who may travel over 45 mph. It won't save the loons, it won't make less wakes, it won't reduce noise, it won't reduce congestion. The speed limit will INCREASE the probability of a death, because the MP have LESS time for more useful enforcement.


Woodsy was quoting your written posts in this forum, that's not putting words in your mouth.
